A First Course in Electrode Processes

This user friendly introduction highlights the importance of electrochemistry and itsapplications to the modern world and the future. In contrast to other texts currentlyavailable, it emphasises understanding and avoids using many pages of complexequations. It also describes the diverse applications of electrochemistry rather thanfocusing on analytical chemistry alone.Although the book follows a similar structure to the first edition, the earlier chapters havebeen extensively up-dated and the later chapters are entirely new. The text is supportedby a large number of figures which illustrate key points.The book starts by describing the essential electrochemical techniques before moving onto cover experimental problems and applications. To reflect the present interest in fuelcells and the environment, these have become the focus of the final chapters. A usefulappendix contains problems with fully worked answers to test the reader's understanding.
